Yeah that machine has been discussed on here in the past.
I remember seeing  some posts about it a couple of years ago.

I hope it's a DX and not an SX.

I don't remember seeing this. Damn, they put bling lights in it, and coulldn't get off their ass to paint it or something? FAIL.

Otherwise, if the controls meet the intended functionality, I don't care.

How could they possibly function?  They are mighty proud of that keyboard that spouts out of the marquee area that you'd have to hold your hands above your head and lunge forward to type on.  Also why would you make a marquee box only to fill it in with wood? 

"Let me play some Street Fighter... oh let me just reach over that ---smurfing--- steering wheel in my way.  Time to play a lightgun game... hope your arms are five feet long because instead of mounting the holsters in the front of the cab like every living being since the dawn of time, I decided to mount them behind the entire damn control panel."

To people that say there is no wrong way to design a cab, I will now refer them to this.

This thing reminds my of the machinery control stations at work. The stations that are military grade ruggedized and are thirty years old.

Although I see potential in the design.

Could probably use the steering wheel to take care of any necessary crotch itching while gaming.

That's a pretty damn good reason to never ever play on dude's cab.
